w2w Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 The one thing that lets the Carlos Coste down is the sub standard movement. Can you stick a better quality one in, bearing in mind the difference in location of the day/date and chrono buttons/crown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadweller4000 Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Eta 2836 is for a three handed watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Not possible on Chronograph model. You need ETA7750 for this watch (which costs many times more expensive than ETA2836-2). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will a 7750 fit into this model? It is my favourite rep at the moment and maybe worth spending money on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Yes it will fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w2w Posted June 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Yes it will fit Thanks, that's handy to know. I really like this rep, but I can't put up with the crap movement inside it at the moment. It keeps running fast and the only way to slow it down to normal is by running it with the chrono going..And it near enough ticks. Ugly, Ugly looking chrono hand 'sweep' What would a ball park figure be for a new asia val 7750 [or preferably the Swiss ETA but they are out everywhere] and someone ITK to fit it?

owdeguy Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 I'm supposed to be doing one soon, I'll let you know when its done... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Movement can be found at 300-400USD each (ETA7750). Asian 7750 hi beat will cost you less and it's definitely better than the low beat movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w2w Posted June 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 I'm supposed to be doing one soon, I'll let you know when its done... Let me know how you get on as I'll be very interested cheers and takashi, a 7750 asian with 28,800 would be fine with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
